[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-protocol v3] vdagent: add keyboard description message

[Marc-André Lureau]

----- Original Message -----
> The goal of this message is to make the guest use the same keyboard
> layout as the client. In other words to remove the necessity to manually
> configure the keyboard layout on the guest.
> 
> We can achieve this functionality by informing the agent about
> the keyboard layout used by the client. The agent then tries to set
> the appropriate keyboard layout on the guest side.
> 
> The message is represented by a xkb symbols string (e.g. "pc+us",

ack

> basically it contains an abbreviation of the country name
> and some other options). Linux agent can use this string directly,
> windows agent has to find a keyboard layout for the specified country name.
